02 · Hive · The human network

Trust travels through people.

The second step. The doors that matter open through humans who are trusted on both sides. Hive is that network made visible: trusted people making introductions to decision makers, opt-in every step, and rewarded when they land.

Begin journey Get in touch How it works

01Ask
A Seeker names the audience they need to reach, not a name: the buyer of legal capability for Defence, say.
02Connect
A Connector who already holds that trust asks the decision maker whether an introduction is welcome. Only a yes moves forward.
03Reward
The three meet. The Connector is rewarded for the trust it took years to build, and reputation follows every introduction.

A worked example

A legal services chief executive needs the person who buys legal capability for Australian Defence. She does not hold that relationship. A Connector does, and asks whether an introduction is welcome. It is. The three meet. The Connector is rewarded. Nobody was cold-called.

Opt-in on every side
No one is introduced without saying yes first. The decision maker is asked before anything moves. A network that skips that step is not a network. It is a list.
Trust is the currency
Connectors are rewarded for the relationships they already hold and the reputation they put behind them, never for volume.
Audiences, not names
A Seeker describes who they need to reach. The network finds the human who can make it real.
Everyone leaves better off
Seeker, Connector and decision maker each gain something worth having. That is the only kind of introduction Hive makes.

Questions

: Anyone who holds genuine, current relationships with people others need to reach, and is willing to put their reputation behind an introduction.
: Connectors are rewarded when an introduction is made and accepted. The reward model is being built out bit by bit, and we will publish it as it becomes real.
: Fewer, better approaches. Every introduction arrives through someone they already trust, with the context to say yes or no quickly.
: No. Your constellation stays private. A Connector chooses which relationship to activate, one introduction at a time, and only with consent.
: Hive is available and being built out bit by bit. Tell us whether you are a Seeker, a Connector or a decision maker, and who you need to reach. We bring people in as it grows.
